My shiny Charizard that I got from a Japanese game and traded to my English Emerald game, then later migrated to my Pearl game, has an ID number of 00000. Is that extremely rare? or was this pokemon gotten by cheating??Shadow lucario 19:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

It's almost impossible to start with both a shiny Charmander and a Trainer ID of 00000 (the odds are about one in 537 million). He could have gotten that ID by chance and bred a shiny Charmander, but on average he'd need to hatch 864 for even a 10% chance of one shiny. A quick Google suggests that some popular Gameshark codes produced an ID of 00000, so there's a good chance that this is hacked. --JDigital 23:38, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

but, i can be wrong, i can't tell you anything for sure, better let someone else confirm what i said.

Agonist and ShinyShuppet (Bluemew) have both RNGed ID combos that had an ID of 00000, as have a few other RNGers, so not every pokemon with that ID is a default hack, but it is a common ID for hackers for whatever reason. That being said, if they are from gen 3, it was harder to RNG your ID combo on those games, even impossible on a few version iirc, so the odds of them being hacked shoots way up.

They are hacked then No wonder this guy who gave me those hasn't replied to any of my VM/PM since the trade..

I found a Celebi in my box with a Shiny Suicune, Entei and Raikou and I know there were Gamestop events for the dogs but my Celebi isn't matching up with whats on the main site. just can't remember if the Celebi one is real or not. Could someone help me out please ?

Prinplup and Dugtrio are hacked. Entree Forest pokemon cannot be shiny and the Dugtrio was downloaded off of pokecheck with the ribbon attached. The Digglett is from Pokecheck Admin Kaphotics and is fine (so long as it doesn't also have a ribbon) and Staryu and Bellossom both appear to be legal, but that OT has a lot of public pokemon on pokecheck that seem RNGed, but I cannot track down the original uploader, they are all public from multiple sources, which is weird. All in all though I wouldn't worry to much about it, just something I find off.

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

well, bad news, i used "something" to check if they are legit, and apperantly the guy caught the shiny regigas in pokemon soulsilver, so yeah.. that can't be right
the kyurem seems legit, but i found it very strange that someone would ask for a wynaut lvl 20 and up in the gts for a kyurem....

Traded for this earlier and just seemed a bit strange. I didn't see an X&Y thread so pardon if I'm putting it in the wrong place. I haven't played Pokemon since the Gold/Silver days so this all terrible confusing for someone who's just jumped back in. Thank you for helping me on this matter.

Hey there, got a few pokemon I'd like checked.
I'm new to hack checking, but I know the basics are the Region named, arrival/level and the stats. Most look pretty sound to me, but I'll name them anyway.

Mesprit is a Roamer, which can be found on just about any route, including 204. All of them look legal except Mew, which is blatantly hacked. Odds are Lugia is too, although it's possible to get on an English Emerald.

That's the Mew given out to those who pre-ordered tickets to see Lucario and the Mystery of Mew in Japan.
Assuming the date it was caught refers to when it was transferred to the Gen IV or V games, it's legitimate.

Are you 100% sure? I would love for this to be legit. Don't want to have to release it >

I am 100% certain it is legit.
The OT (ハドウ) and Trainer ID number (50716) matches exactly with the Japanese Aura Mew given out to those who pre-ordered tickets to see the movie, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. The Pokeball is also matching.
And those Mew were at Level 10 when they were given out, hence "Arrived at Level 10".
Lastly, as I said, the date you described of when it was "caught" was likely the date of when it was transferred to a later generation game.
